Your naivete is cute. Fortunately, I can spot pedophile agenda even if hidden.
I would imagine you can, Mr. NAMBLA.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

In my mam's class at school there's a little boy obsessed with princesses, is always dressing up and says when he's older he wants to live in a castle so he can be one. Normal working class kid with regular parents there. Some kids are just like that.

Sure.  But it's rare, is it not?  And given that this gal apparently really wanted a boy who likes hot pink, it just seems like too much of a coincidence.

His parents need to take corrective action.  We have established gender roles for good reason, and they need to be gently reinforced  :bash:

I used to paint my toenails as a child along with my sisters. Always felt a bit embarrassed though when I'd go in for a physical.
And you turned out all right. :contract:

Martinus hates the concept of hot pink toenail polish on this kid.  Leaves an aftertaste.

Sure enough. Even with that bit of downturn in my mental health, I probably have a nicer life than many in America, let alone the world.

"Yeah, well, it may be fun and games now, Jenna, but at least put some money aside for psychotherapy for the kid—and maybe a little for others who'll be affected by your 'innocent' pleasure," Dr. Keith Ablow wrote in a Fox News op-ed. "If you have no problem with the J. Crew ad, how about one in which a little boy models a sundress? What could possibly be the problem with that?"

We are all going to suffer for this?  What a fucking double standard.  Nobody flips out when little girls do boy things.

Going on a slight tangent, did any of you guys catch any of the brouhaha about the lactating doll?

unless the literally do little boy things, and then people freak out and there are articles about the sexualization of children :P
